Assassin's Creed PS3 Xbox

Become a Crusades-era assassin fighting incredible hardship -largely in the form of some very dull and criminally unskippable cut scenes. A sort of 13th Century Tenchu, AC has gorgeous landscapes, and plenty of scope for free-running from building to building, like a ninja Spiderman. Sadly, an awkward camera angle and dodgy controls spoil the fun. Stunning graphics. Pleasingly violent. Endless cut scenes. Controls a pain.
